GRANDVIEW HIGH
Lunch Time...
On a clear chilly afternoon the usual school lunch break crowd of kids are gathering in front of Grandview High. Kim is standing talking to Chad Cummings, a tall muscular young student in a letter sweater. He is Grandview High student council president and Kim has an obvious crush on him. They’re discussing the upcoming Prom, and the novel experience that created it. In order to ease tensions between their own high school and their cross-town rival Taft High, the student council decided to hold a joint Prom. It is hoped that the shared fun and excitement of the dance will put an end to the fights that have been occurring between the two schools...

“Who you going to the Prom with?” Chad asks Kim. Embarrassed Kim ducks the question “Well... I am on the Prom Committee.” Kim replies.

 ®

“But, you'll be there won’t you Kim?” Chad asks curiously. 

“I wouldn't miss The Prom for anything.” Kim responds softly. Suddenly behind Kim, a large mound of colored shapes looms over her. She is knocked sprawling by Kirby Winslow, who rushing through the crowd of kids, spills his box load of Prom decorations on top of her. 

“Oops I’m so sorry Kim! Oh hi Chad,” states Kirby as he rushes around picking up the decorations he spilled.

Kim brushes herself off, “Kirby Winslow...watch what you’re doing!” she snaps at him. 

“Oh ah... well, I’m sorry Kim,” continues Kirby. “I need your help,” he pleads. "Can you please bring these with you to the Prom committee meeting for me? I’ve got Chess Club in five minutes! Would you please? I’m going to be late!” he excitedly begs her. 

“Okay sure, no problem,” Kim obliges. “Thanks Kim, see you later!” Kirby shouts back as he becomes lost within the crowd of school kids. Kirby Winslow is the class genius and resident nerd. 

Tiffany arrives and pushes her way through the group.

 ®

Tiffany eyes Kim struggling with the load of Prom decorations. 

“Girl friend, you gotta stop volunteering for stuff, look at you.” states Tiffany with a smile as she hugs Kim. 

Right behind her comes Maria and then Sarah. 

®

“Hi Kim, hi Sarah, hey congratulations on making Prom Queen!" Maria tells her.

“Hello everyone! Hi Chad," she smiles warmly at him. "Thank you Maria. I’m soooo excited!” exclaims Sarah.   

®

Kim tries to reengage Chad. “Do you think there'll be trouble at the dance Chad?” Kim asks him. “I sure hope not,” Chad replies. “These fights between our schools have been going on for too long and if they keep this going on much longer, somebody's going to really get hurt.” 

“Heaven knows, that's why this idea of both schools having their Proms together has got to work!” Tiffany adds. 

Sarah joins in, “Maybe it will put an end to these fights between our schools.  She asks, “Don't you think so Chad?”

“In the student council meeting, it seemed like a good idea, but now I'm not so sure.” Chad responds in a low but steady voice. It’s like we're putting a whole bunch of dynamite in one room.” he continues. Now all of Chad's attention turns to Sarah and it's clear that Kim's feelings are hurt. “I mean, it's easy to think good thoughts when you're sitting in the student lounge with your friends but it's different when you're all alone on a dark street.” Chad tells them. 

“What do you mean? Sarah asks.

“Well,” Chad explains, “last night I'm walking home and this car full of guys from Central High cruises by and I start thinking they're the enemy again. And I bet if a bunch of us had cruised somebody from Central High, he would have felt just like I did. It's human nature. How do you change human nature?” he says shrugging his shoulders with his hands in the air. 

“Well, I’m starving are you girls coming over to Geri’s Deli with us? Chad asks as he heads down through the crowd of kids. 

“No not today,” Tiffany says as she and the other girls begin to head down the school steps. “We have to go get ready for karate practice. “Bye Chad,” Sarah shouts, “We’ll see you guys at the prom on Friday.” The four girls wave goodbye and become lost within the crowd of kids on the school steps as they head to The Karate Angels secret Dojo. 

TERA
At the same time... across town, Billy watches as a group of his friend are laughing as they crowd into a car and speed off, leaving him standing alone. He gazes longingly at the departing car, watching until he hears the faint screeching of their tires in the far distant. The wind blowing cold across his freckled face he angrily kicks a can and starts his lonely walk home. As he turns a corner, suddenly a strange looking girl steps out of a doorway and motions to him. It’s Tera!   

®

The strange girl looking says, “Hey you. Watcha doing?” 

“I’m going home.” Billy continues as he tries to brush past the girl. “Like going home and watching TV by myself? He says. 

The strange girl says, “My name is Tera. I have something better to do.” 

“Oh, what’s that?” Billy asks curiously. 

“Commere I’ve got something to show you.” Billy cautiously follows Tera into the alleyway. “Here look at this. She slowly opens her palm and reveals a brightly glowing object. The boy gasps, he leans forward to look at it. 

“It’s a ring!” he whispers to himself. Billy is fascinated, his face lit by the eerie bright green glow coming from it! Billy slowly reaches for the ring. It’s strange powers already starting to take hold of Billy. 

“Go ahead. Try it on. Don’t be frightened.” Tera says. 

“For me, what’s the catch?” Billy says. 

As he slowly slips it on his finger, a change occurs. He begins to shake, he reaches his arms to the sky, and a strange power from the ring shoots lighting all through his bones! He suddenly becomes stiff! His mouth curls and his face twists into a mean sneer. A strange green glow coming from deep within his eyes! He turns to Tera. 

With her arms folded Tera commands Billy to follow her. “Come on with me. I want you to meet some friends of mine.”

GERI'S DELI
At the same moment... it seems as if all of Grandview High is now gathered at the crowded lunchtime hangout Geri’s Deli. A group of three boys with three girls are sitting at a large table having sodas and burgers, discussing The Prom on Friday night.

“I'm gunna drive my Dad's Porsche to the Prom!” the first boy declares while sipping a seven-up. 

“The one your dad keeps chained next to his bed. Sure!” the second boy replies. The first boy continues, “and I think I'm gunna get a tattoo special for the Prom.”

“That's stupid.” The first girl says.

The second boy says, “It's cool.” 

 “It's sooo uncool,” the second girl says. The second boy yells, “Cool.” 

The first girl says, “Not!” 

“What is this, boys against the girls? The third boy interrupts. "Some girl's just don't get it about tattoos.” 

“What do you think if I got a tattoo? First girl whispers to second girl and asks. “Not a big one but just a teensy one?” she doesn’t answer. 

She sees Chad Cummings walk in, “Hi Chad” she says. As Grandview High student council president the kids look to Chad as their leader. 

“Hi everyone. Did you order me a burger, I’m starved?” Chad asks. “Yes we did, a double!” the first boy shouts. 

“Hey Chad,” the first girl asks, “We were talking about the Prom. Do you think there'll be trouble at The Prom Saturday? I’m a bit worried."

The third boy interrupts  “Well, if they come here looking for trouble, they'll find it.” 

“Wait! Are you kidding me, or what? That's just the attitude that'll set things off,” Chad jumps in. “They show up for a Prom and you guys are all looking them up and down and waiting for them to start something! That’s crazy talk! He continues, “That's really gunna get them to relax and be friendly. They're just kids like us. We think we're right. Well, they think they’re right.” Chad cries out, “now where’s my burger?” 

The second boy replies, “we think we have the coolest school and the best school colors. I bet they think their school colors are the best.” The first boy continues, “Are you kidding? Red and white?” The third boy interrupts, “It's not as good as purple and gold. Anybody can see that,” he says. 

“Come on! They're just trying to have a good time like we are. And this is their Prom too.” Chad says, “They have been waiting all year for this night, just like we have. I think it's up to us to make sure it works for everyone.” Chad continues. “They're our guests, just like we'd invited them to our home. We have to see that they're made to feel welcome. When I was new to this school, I didn't trust you guys. You guys seemed strange to me and unfriendly.” He explains. 

The second boy replies, “Well, that’s because we didn't know anything about you!” 

“That's just it.” Chad says. “They don't know anything about us. So they probably think the worst. And we can change what they think about us.” 

“Okay guys like, where’s my burger? Hey, can I have some of your fries?” 

THE KARATE ANGEL'S SECRET DOJO

Later that day...Tiffany, Sarah and Maria are at their secret Dojo discussing the upcoming Prom.

“It’s so cool that Sarah and Chad are Prom Queen and King,” exclaims Maria. Aren't you excited?” 

“Yes, but my folks won't let me go to The Prom unless I have my term paper finished.” Sarah states. “And it's not due for a week.” 

“That is totally unfair. Why do parents do that?” Maria asks. “I think they forget they were kids once. They don’t understand that sometimes our stuff is important. Sometimes a thing like that can change everything.” 

“You're right.” Sarah agrees. 

Suddenly the door swings open, Kim enters and stumbles to a chair. “Well girls. We almost didn't have a Prom. No gym! No Prom!” she tells them. 

“What happened to you, girl?” Tiffany shouts.... They turn to see Kim as she slumps into a nearby chair. Tiffany notices that Kim is bleeding. “What happened girl?” 

“I had to fight Billy.” Kim explains. “Someone was planning to set fire to the gymnasium and blame it on Central High.” She unfolds a piece of paper. “Here look at this, it's a plan of the electrical system for the school.” The girls crowd around to see it. 

“Where did you get this?” asks Sarah? 

“Off Billy Kravitz.” Kim states. 

Maria says, “Billy Kravitz, the head of the library club? That shrimp wouldn't have a chance against you.” 

Kim rubs her chin. “He did pretty well for a while.” 

Sarah continues, “I can't believe he did that to you! Billy Kravitz?” 

Kim looks up at her, confused. “Well, at first it wasn't Billy, and then it was!” 

“What does that mean?” Maria asks. The girls move closer as Kim begins to explain what had just happened. 

Kim continues, “I was at the gymnasium getting my equipment.”

LOCKER ROOM
In flashback... we see Kim in the locker room. In the empty dark basement, Kim takes off her backpack and begins to get her gear out of the locker. She hears a sound and goes to investigate In the back of the locker room in a dark corner she sees a strange figure and two glowing green eyes. She flips on the light, revealing a Dark Knight in a ninja uniform!

®

“Hey, who are you? What are you doing in here? This is the girls locker room!” Kim shouts! The Dark Knight doesn’t say a word. He comes at Kim fiercely throwing kicks and punch from every direction. Kim gets the worst of it at first. Blow after well-aimed blow knock her backwards.  

She struggles to raise her right hand in the air. “Angel Power!” Kim yells. A bolt of lightning streaks through her halo and runs through her body. 

She is instantly transformed into The Green Angel.  

Now, with her new powers, the tables turn and she drives the Dark Knight back, raining blows on him till he goes down. She stands next to her fallen opponent his face covered with a black ninja mask. 

Standing with her arms folded, “You're finished.” The Green Angel says glaringly. 

“We're not finished yet.” cries out the Dark Knight. “You're going to have a bonfire instead of a Prom.” 

The Green Angel grabs at the mask and it comes off in her hand, revealing a homely and very frightened teenage boy. “It’s Billy!” The Green Angel cries out. 

“What happened?”  Billy asks sitting up, rubbing his head. “I don't remember anything. I must have passed out or something. How did I get here?” Billy asks her. “Who are you?” 

The Green Angel picks up a piece of paper off the floor. She asks, “What is this, Billy?” 

“I don't know.” Billy says innocently as he gets unsteadily to his feet, his old nerdy self again. “Look, I gotta go. I've got homework to finish and my mom will be looking for me!” 

“Go home, Billy.” She tells him. The frightened boy races out the nearest door. 

KARATE ANGEL'S SECRET DOJO
Back at the dojo... Kim is finishing her story.

“He didn't remember anything. He was under a spell.” Kim unfolds the piece of paper. “He had this blueprint for the school's electric grid.” Kim looks at the others gathered around her. “I think they planned on starting a fire and making us think it was done by Central High.  That would start the war all over again and nothing would stop it then.” 

“I wonder who's behind this?” asks Tiffany. 

“Well, whoever they are, you’ve stopped them in time.” States Maria. 

“I wouldn't be too sure.” Kim adds. “I don't think we've seen the end of it yet. I have my suspicions. Maybe we better tell the authorities?” 

“No.” yells Sarah. “They'll just close down the dance and that will be the end of the truce. If this truce plan is going to work then the Prom must go on! We’ll just have to keep a sharp lookout for trouble at the Prom” Sarah exclaims. “If the troublemakers are going to be stopped, then it's up to the Karate Angels.” 

LOCKER ROOM
Later that evening...while the Prom is beginning and kids are arriving a group of about ten Dark Knights are preparing to sabotage the event. They sneak around back to the locker room and they’re planting incendiaries around the main power grid. 

“Come on, let’s get this stuff set to go off to start the fire.” The first Dark Knight yells glaringly, while the other Dark Knights hurry and get off their motorcycles. 

“Yeah, let’s get this bonfire set to go off and get out of here quick.” The second Dark Knight asks, “Hey, they got Billy! What if he talks? 

“He will say nothing.” The first Dark Knight responds. “He will remember nothing. Now lets get busy and get on outta here.” 

“But The Karate Angels, what if they show up?” The second Dark Knight asks. 

A third Dark Knight adds “We’ll have a surprise for them! A big surprise, ha, ha, ha!” The Dark Knights continues to plant incendiary devises around the back electrical box in the locker room. 

THE PROM NIGHT
The parking lot... is crowded with kids arriving from both schools, dressed in their glittering Prom outfits but everyone is nervous and weary. Kirby is doing his best to keep the peace. Kim is helping with the soda supplies. The two schools aren't mixing on the dance floor. There are cold stares and minor confrontations.  No one is dancing. 

Suddenly, Sarah and Chad have arrived. They are announced over the loud speaker. As they come through the crowd they go up to Central High's Prom King and Queen on the stage. With great dignity, the four kids exchange crowns and partners. 

A hush falls over the room, an explosive silence. Sarah tells her new partner a joke and he laughs out loud. The tension is broken, the music begins again and the floor fills with kids. 

The dance is going very well. Kirby Winslow is happily taping the event on video. 

Kim has the thankless job of standing guard against any saboteurs while pretending to organize activities. When the girls float past on the dance floor, they exchange information on the situation.

“All clear, on this side so far.” Kim tells Maria and Tiffany. “Maybe we were wrong about there being any trouble.” Kim says. “We're running short of chips. I'll go get some more.” Kim heads for the storage room but slips out the back door. 

LOCKER ROOM
At the same time the Dark Knights... are close to success when Kim suddenly discovers them. 

“Okay you guys. Are you ready to set this place on fire? 

®

The Dark Knight asks. “Lets get going before someone shows up. This is one bon fire I will enjoy cooking some marsh mellows on. Ha, ha, ha, ha!” The Dark Knights laugh as they plant their incendiaries. 

Kim walks in and catches the Dark Knights by surprise. Startled Kim yells, “Hey, what are you guys doing back here? You don’t belong in here!” 

“Who are you little girl?” The Dark Knight yells at Kim. “You better get out of here if you know what’s good for you.” 

“No!” Kim warns the group of Dark Knights.  “I think, you guys better stop what you’re doing or else! “You won't get away with this.” 

“Oh Yeah? Watch us!” the Dark Knight yells. “Grab her!” Outnumbered, she turns to summon help but finds her path blocked. “Tie her up so she won’t warn the others.” The Dark Knights surround Kim and try to grab her before she can respond. The biggest of the Dark Knights throws Kim against the wall...

BACK AT THE PROM
Back on the dance floor...Tiffany and Maria check with each other.

“Have you seen Kim?” Tiffany asks Maria. “Not for a while,” Maria says, “I thought she was with Kirby. Now I'm getting worried.” The two girls go to find Kirby and Kim. Kirby Winslow is busy video taping everything in site. 

“Hey Kirby, did you see Kim?” Maria asks worried. 

“Yeah she went to get more chips. You know Kim. Maybe she stopped to eat some.” Kirby tells the girls. The two girls exchange glances and excuse themselves to go find Sarah who is with Chad. 

“Hey Sarah. We're going to the little girls room want to come with us?” Maria winks at Sarah and they both excuse herself. “Excuse me Chad,” she tells Chad “ I’ll be right back.” 

LOCKER ROOM
Kim tries to escape but... there are too many of them. Kim is putting up a good fight but the odds are long. She's being knocked about.   

Kim steps back to gain her balance when she raises her right hand up to the sky and shouts “Angel Power” a bolt of lightning shoots through her halo. She instantly transforms into The Green Angel.

®

“Oh no, she’s a Karate Angel” the Dark Knight shouts. “So what, we can take her. She’s just a girl and there are ten of us! Get Her!” The Dark Knight shouts. “Ok, this is the end for you little girl” the Dark Knight shouts. “You don’t have a chance against us.” 

“Okay, who gets it first, you clowns?” The Green Angel steps back into a Kung-Fu stance. She slowly makes a circle around the first three Dark Knights. 

Maria, Tiffany and Sarah walk outside looking for Kim. They open to door to the locker room and see the Dark Knights surrounding Kim. 

“This looks like a job for The Karate Angels.” The girls’ shout out, “ANGEL POWER!” A bolt of lightning surrounds them, they suddenly transform into The Karate Angels! 

®

They enter the locker room. 

The Dark Knights all turn to see who is walking in on them. 

“Oh no, it’s The Karate Angels,” they shout out. The Dark Knights step back.

Tiffany the Red Angel steps forward, “What is this, boys against the girls?” she asks. Well surprise surprise! Swinging her Nun chucks, she throws a front kick and steps back. Ready for action!

®

Maria the Yellow Angel steps up. She politely taps Dark Knight on the shoulder and he turns. “Excuse me,” She knocks him flying with a roundhouse kick to his head. The Yellow Angel says smiling, “How's that, big guy?” 

®

The Dark Knight is stunned and lies on the floor crying. 

Sarah the Blue Angel squares off against another Dark Knight who throws a punch. The Blue Angel parries the blow. 

®

The Blue Angel says, “That was good! Let’s see what else you’ve got.” He throws another. The Blue Angel says, “That's good too, but this is better.” A flurry of jabs and kicks unbalance him, leaving him open to a spinning back kick that sends him flying head over heels. 

The Red Angel says, “Now things are a little more even. Anyone of you morons wants to take your chance with this girl? Come on, step right up don’t be shy!” as she steps forward and takes her fighting stance. 

The Red Angel takes on three Dark Knights. They circle her, looking for an opening. Each tries to attack her with punches only to be blocked. Finally, one the Dark Knight lands a punch and momentarily rocks The Red Angel, but she shakes it off. 

The Yellow Angel says, “If that’s your best shot sonny, then this won’t take long at all.”

The Yellow Angel follows with a dazzling display and hand and footwork, ending with a spinning kick that takes him down. 

Suddenly, across the room The Green Angel sees a puff of smoke and shouts. 

“Hey look out!” The Green Angel dives for the power grid just as smoke begins to curl up from the grid. The other Karate Angels rush to help her, ripping the device from the wires and hurling across the room where it explodes harmlessly. When they turn around, the Dark Knights have fled. 

The Karate Angels exchange glances and the four girls high five each other. “Is everyone okay.” She asks. “Okay here, I’m okay too.” 

The Green Angel says, “I don't think that's the last we'll see of them.” 

The Yellow Angel rubs her knuckles, still itching for a fight. “I certainly hope not. But, I’ve got more to give them if they do.” she says. “What a mess this place is, but at least no one is hurt. Let’s get back to The Prom before anyone starts looking for us.” 

BACK AT THE PROM
The four girls...Sarah, Kim, Tiffany and Maria return to the dance floor, fixing their hair and looking innocent in their Prom dresses. Their dates are annoyed. 

“Where have you girls been?” Chad says a little worried.

“Girls get to talking.” Maria says with a smile and a wink. 

“The Prom has gone so well.” Chad tells them, “everyone wants to thank us for helping to make it possible.” 

“Well, if it wasn't for Kim,” Sarah tells Chad, “there wouldn't have been a Prom tonight.” The girls give a cheer and Kim blushes with a big smile. 

“What does that mean,” Chad asks the girls. “Oh nothing,” Sarah explains. “Come on Chad, let’s dance. This is a party, remember!”
